== Oxygen ==
While scuba diving, Sims only have a certain amount of air to inhale (why EA adds the breathing sound effect!) before they must return to the surface. The amount of air the Sim has depends on their Scuba Diving level. The air Sims have left is shown by a moodlet. Once the first moodlet that they got when they started diving expires, they will get a negative moodlet that shows that they are having trouble breathing and should return to the surface, and if this moodlet expires after 2 hours, yourthe simSim will showget the "Gasping for Air" moodlet. If he/shethey keepskeep staying underwater when it has expired, and the Sim is still in the sea, the Sim will die. (Note:from thisrunning deathout isof NOT "drowning" death)air. Having the '''Lungs of Steel''' [[lifetime reward]] allows Sims to dive indefinitely without worrying about oxygen.
